Recreational bicycle ride, Saturday: Women’s History

“I think [the bicycle] has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives a woman a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. The moment she takes her seat she knows she can’t get into harm unless she gets off her bicycle, and away she goes, the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.” — Susan B. Anthony, 1896

March is women’s history month: Did you know that the bicycle played a role in the suffrage movement? It’s true! Join our Volunteer Coordinator Margaret on a women’s history-themed ride through San Francisco. This will be a fun, casual ride, and there’s a 99.7% chance we’ll all eat cupcakes at the end.
